Anby Build Guide 2026: Best Stun DPS Setup in Zenless Zone Zero

Anby Demara, the A-rank Electric Stun Agent from the Cunning Hares, has been a familiar face in Zenless Zone Zero since the game's 1.0 launch. In 2026, with a roster packed with flashy S-rank agents, Anby is no longer the belle of the ball, but she remains a dependable, free-to-play friendly stun unit. Her kit is straightforward: she builds Daze, applies Electric anomaly, and rewards players who weave Basic Attacks into Special Attacks. For anyone looking to get the ball rolling in New Eridu without breaking the bank, Anby is still a smart investment.

⚡ Why Anby Still Cuts the Mustard in 2026

Anby is an A-rank Agent available on the standard banner and given as a free single copy to every new player. As a Stun specialist, she excels at dishing out Electric damage and a high amount of Daze. Her additional ability triggers when a Dodge Counter hits an enemy, granting 7.2 Energy once every 5 seconds. That energy feeds her EX Special, which is her main source of stun pressure. She may not be the top dog among stun agents, but she is a solid pick for Electric teams that need a reliable stunner.

🎯 Best W-Engines for Anby

W-Engine	Effect	Why It Works
The Restrained	Basic Attack DMG and Daze increase by 6–12% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times.	Anby uses Basic Attacks constantly to build Daze, especially the delayed third hit.
Hellfire Gears	Off-field Energy Regen increases; EX Special boosts Impact by 10–20% for 10s, stacking twice.	More EX Specials means more Daze and better stun rotations.
Demara Battery Mark II	Increases Electric DMG; Dodge Counter or Assist Attack boosts Energy Generation Rate by 18–27.5% for 8s.	Anby's signature engine; perfect for dodge-counter-heavy play.
Six Shooter	Gains Charge stacks every 3s; EX Special consumes them to increase Daze by 4–6.4% per stack.	Great for teams where Anby is off-field and only swaps in for EX Specials.

🛡️ Best Disc Drive Builds

Stun-Focused Build: 4pc Shockstar Disco + 2pc Swing Jazz

• Shockstar Disco (2): Impact +6%.

• Shockstar Disco (4): Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze on the main target.

• Swing Jazz (2): Energy Regen +20%.

Main Stats: IV – Crit DMG or Crit Rate | V – Electric Damage | VI – Impact

Sub Stats Priority: 1. Crit Rate or Crit DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. ATK | 4. Anomaly Proficiency

This build pairs beautifully with Demara Battery Mark II. A Dodge Counter triggers the W-Engine's energy regeneration and Shockstar Disco's 20% extra Daze. Swing Jazz keeps the EX Special coming. It is a match made in heaven for players who want Anby to stun early and often.

Damage-Focused Build: 4pc Thunder Metal + 2pc Swing Jazz

• Thunder Metal (2): Electric DMG +10%.

• Thunder Metal (4): While an enemy is Shocked, ATK +28%.

• Swing Jazz (2): Energy Regen +20%.

Main Stats: IV – Crit Rate or Crit DMG | V – Electric Damage or Pen Ratio | VI – Impact

Sub Stats Priority: 1. Crit Rate or Crit DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. ATK | 4. Anomaly Proficiency

This setup is for players who want Anby to hit harder as a sub-DPS. It shines in mono-Electric teams that apply Shock frequently. If the squad can keep enemies Shocked, Anby's damage gets a serious shot in the arm.

💥 Skill Priority: Core First, No Ifs or Buts

1. Core Skill – Always first. It improves Anby's stun capability and is the backbone of her kit.

2. Special Attack / EX Special – High priority. These inflict Daze and speed up her attack after the third Basic Attack.

3. Basic Attack – Max alongside Special. This is her main Daze-building tool.

4. Dodge Counter – Next in line. Dodge counters are vital for Shockstar Disco, Demara Battery Mark II, and her additional ability.

5. Ultimate / Chain Attack – Same as Dodge. Decent damage and Daze, but not the core.

6. Assist – Lowest priority. It does good Daze, but it is used the least.

🤖 Bangboo Choices

Bangboo	Key Trait	Best For
Plugboo	With 2+ Electric characters: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.	Mono-Electric teams that want Shock uptime.
Amillion	With 2+ Cunning Hares: Chain Attack DMG increases with fewer enemies, up to 45%.	The free starter team.
Electroboo	With 2+ Electric: Chain Attack inflicts 60% more Anomaly Buildup.	A weaker Plugboo, but still useful.
Avocaboo	With 1+ Support: Active Skill recovers 20% more HP and gains 3 more charges.	F2P teams that need healing.

👥 Team Compositions

Mono-Electric: Anby + Grace + Anton

This trio ensures every member unlocks their additional ability. Anby provides stun, Grace applies Shock, and Anton benefits from attacking Shocked enemies. Anby also gains extra Energy from her Dodge Counter, which keeps her EX Specials flowing. Anton may eventually be replaced by a newer Electric DPS, but Grace remains a strong anomaly partner. For 2026 players, this team is a classic that still gets the job done.

Free-to-Play Starter: Anby + Nicole + Ben

This fully free team is a jack of all trades. Anby stuns, Nicole supports and groups enemies, and Ben brings AOE and ranged Physical attacks. Because all three belong to the Cunning Hares, every additional ability is unlocked. The damage ceiling is lower than premium teams, and endgame content may be a slog, but it is a fantastic starting point that costs nothing.

🏁 Final Verdict

In 2026, Anby is not the flashiest agent in Zenless Zone Zero, but she is far from washed up. Her kit encourages high Energy Regen, quick EX Special rotations, and smart use of the third Basic Attack. She will not out-stun the top-tier limited agents, yet she remains a solid, affordable choice for Electric teams that need a stun unit. For new players and budget account owners, investing in Anby is a piece of cake—and it pays off. If a squad needs a reliable stunner to hit the ground running, Anby Demara is still worth the resources.
